“Zenkai Girl” is the first time that Aragaki is playing the main character in a television series, though she has previously had several roles as major secondary characters. In the series, she plays Wakaba, an ambitious international lawyer with dreams of rising to the top. After finding a job at a law office, her boss (Yakushimaru Hiroko) gives her an unexpected assignment: to take care of the boss’s 5-year-old daughter.

Wakaba is eager to do the task well in order to advance her career. While taking the girl to nursery school, she encounters a young man (Nishikido) who is raising a son after being divorced from his wife. As they both struggle in watching over the kids, love gradually blossoms between them.

The first episode was extended by 15 minutes and featured the lawyer ‘Ayukawa Wakaba‘ (Aragaki), who hates children, having to take care of the daughter of her boss. Reluctantly, she even ends up bringing the girl to a kindergarten where she happens to meet the ‘ikemen’ ‘Yamada Sota‘ (Nishikido), triggering a unique romantic comedy that has not been seen in a ‘Getsu 9′ drama yet.

Last season’s “Shiawase ni Narou yo” had a better start than “Zenkai Girl” and when looking at it as a ‘Getsu 9′ drama, you inevitably have to recognize its initial viewer rating as a pretty weak start for Fuji TV.

However, the reaction of viewers have mainly been positive so far. Many were satisfied with Aragaki’s first drama starring role and enjoyed the tempo of the first episode. They also liked the comedy and the lovable characters. One viewer even was surprised by that last scene – we don’t want to spoiler it here – and is already looking forward to the next episode.

Please do not posts GIFs in that manner. Some members here are bandwidth-challenged. And please, thumbnail extra large screencaps. I'd appreciate if you could modify those posts. You also posted the 3rd part of Zenkai Girl episode 01 twice. Contributions are always appreciated, but please take more care, especially if you post five times in an hour.

Watched the second episode last night. I want a bento made by Gakky Ryo is such a stud, though I like the t-shirts he was wearing throughout the episode
